: Barbie - Gloria’s monologue
: It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart,
: and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to
: always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong.
: You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin.
: You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass.
: You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’
: t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but
: don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman,
: but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’
: s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused
: of complaining.
: You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt
: them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be
: a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But
: never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but
: also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show
: off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never
: get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you
: a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you
: doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
: I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie
: herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also
: true for a doll just representing women, then I don’t even know. (Greta
: Gerwig)
憑印象打
設定上芭比們是優勢性別 佔據所有房屋 而Ken(s)只能露宿街頭
芭比們看到扁平足 或 劈腿(指伸展動作)芭比就排斥叫別人怪(weird)芭比
為何這些 privileged 芭比聽到媽媽這些關於 身材(thin) 外貌(pretty) 等焦慮和抱怨會
成功被 deprogram??? WHY??? 情節說服力差
更合理的覺醒可以是被壓迫過的 Ken(s) 因為他們可以感同身受 (related)
或是 programed 芭比在 Kendom 遇到類似的困境 (指 hard to being a woman
可惜並沒有演出hard 而且Kens佔領房屋後照樣讓芭比們住)
退一萬步 媽媽和其演講這麼萬能 為何好長一段時間沒有讓主角經典款芭比覺醒呢?
主角應該早就能夠感同身受才對 甚至不必等到演講的時間點
(設定上娃娃主人可以淺移默化影響芭比 但看來這個設定只是一開始推動劇情
後來就丟了)
何況 明顯媽媽跟女兒的緊張關係也是媽媽的壓力來源 但這段大演講也沒有好好討論
being Mom 的部分 只是顧著聚焦 being women FOR MEN 的部分
檢言之 關於 parenting 的探討 恐怖片 M3GAN 都深刻的多
簡言之 媽媽和女兒的作用就是向觀眾說教 對人物性格塑造與情節發展 只有非常淺的作用
看似侃侃而談的大道理 聽起來卻像是連話(指Cinematic language)都不會說了
以 satire 的標準而言 太粗糙啦
